Harry and Max lacks all of the subtle interplay between characters that has so far been a hallmark of Christopher Munch's films. The premise sounded interesting and challenging, but the film was a let down for me. None of the characters here, even Harry and Max themselves, are fully formed. Unfortunately, this means that the salacious premise (the repercussions of two teen pop idol brothers' incest) never overcomes its own silliness. I thought the nearly non-stop chatter between the two main characters would eventually be banished as merely a cover up for their deeper thoughts, but no, apparently this silly dialog was meant to be thought provoking in some way. Why are these guys pop stars? Oh yeah, because who wants to see a movie about incest unless the stars are attractive? It should be central to their characters, but it seems only to be an excuse for Harry to have some sort of A Star is Born angst and for the audience to see pretty faces. Max is infatuated with Harry, then Harry is infatuated with Max, both sleep with the other's past loves, vague hints are given about their messed up family and absolutely NOTHING of significance about love, human nature, lust, relationships, or anything else is ever revealed. Not helping matters is the cursery development of all other characters. Josiah, Roxanne and Jordan are all treated like pieces of the set to be moved around at the need of the director. None has any depth, motivations or interesting qualities beyond their usefulness as background for Harry and Max. Even the boys' mother is reduced to two minutes of muddled screen time bitchiness. Nikki, for me, was the only interesting character here, but the reasons for her choices are never explored and in the end she winds up as flat as all the others. Writers need to make choices and here none have been made. Either focus only on Harry and Max, or focus on their world, but please do one or the other with some degree of success! To my mind, this is Christopher Munch's worst film to date, not because of its scandalous subject matter, but because of its inability to reveal anything of interest about it! 兄弟禁斷之愛。哥哥哈瑞是前男孩樂隊成員,看著16歲的弟弟馬克在他以后成為青年偶象。這個冬季,本來籌算去日本的他繞路伴隨馬克帳篷觀光。但開初布滿歡樂和兄弟交誼的觀光卻很快冷卻下來,他們之間的題目從頭浮出水面,沒法忽視,迫使他們面對那傷痕累累的疇昔:哈瑞酗酒的弊端,他對家庭的疏離,還有他與馬克的含混關系。這些,在他們成長的歲月中,如影隨形;兩人的豪情,也始終尋不到確切的出口。 這是一部耐看的作品。有點像小品,有點像嘗試電影,乍看之下儉樸無華,細心看了,倒是此中有深意。兩兄弟有個自私又貪財?shù)哪赣H,只有彼此可以依托。一路成長,堆集回想,不由自立成為彼此最在乎的人。固然不是那種伴侶,或,他們那樣才是畢生伴侶吧。但是,無關哥哥的酗酒,還有他們的家庭窘境,他們只是沒法純粹地在一路。每小我都有Dark Side的部分,只有最親近的人,才會讓他見到本身最不堪的一面吧。親情,友情,愛情,邊界又在哪里呢? “反不雅我們一路成長的那段人生里 大年夜大都人想有個一個像Harry如許的哥哥 但我們沒法節(jié)制 彼此吸引”
